Around the Horn Posted April 21, 2016 Share #6326 Posted April 21, 2016 Don't think that car has the full original though. One of them actually has the 1999 service pattern with the "Downtown only" had Broadway-Lafayette covered up, funnily enough. Just checked my records though: 7550 was actually the car with the fully original strip map. Can't remember which set had the old strips all together now. Yeah it isn't the full original but does have the ,orange , and IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted April 21, 2016 Share #6327 Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah it isn't the full original but does have the ,orange , and IIRC. This was 7550's. to 51st, <Z>, orange , pre-W, etc. Only change was the wheelchair sticker for Canal Street, which I believe is from 2001. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted April 22, 2016 Share #6328 Posted April 22, 2016 One of the 7600's has strip maps like that too... Don't think that car has the full original though.

That's it! I must have been putting the two together in my head cause I swore it was a 7600... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted April 26, 2016 Share #6332 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) 1911-1915 is on the , but might be a loaner Edited April 26, 2016 by CH3348 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted April 27, 2016 Share #6333 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Im not understanding these transfers. Instead of Unionport taking their original R62A set back they take Westchester's (formally Corona's). So 2136-2140 is on the along with 1911-1915 the hell does the need LED Rollsigns?

jon2305 Posted April 27, 2016 Share #6334 Posted April 27, 2016 This whole thing seems kinda a** backwards. If they are loaned then why not send back the R62As that originally came from the instead of the ones with LED lights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthe1train Posted April 27, 2016 Share #6335 Posted April 27, 2016 Just saw the set. I'm not sure if the has any more R62A sets without LEDs. It should really be on the and then send R62A sets without LEDs over to the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted April 28, 2016 Share #6341 Posted April 28, 2016 great catch! Caught 1960 on my way to the Mets game last night. RFWs are a dying breed! It is too bad. That is one of my favorite parts of a subway ride. It is sad that the next generation of railfans won't be able to see RFWs except on Museum fan trips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted April 28, 2016 Share #6342 Posted April 28, 2016 That is if there's another generation of rail fans if some of us can't be mature enough to scream when they see a f***** train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NTT's RFW's are just as fine if not better to watch (but not record cause of that whole three layer glass thing) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthe1train Posted April 29, 2016 Share #6344 Posted April 29, 2016 The NTT's RFW's are just as fine if not better to watch (but not record cause of that whole three layer glass thing) Eh, only if you're outside. Underground there's too much diffusion and makes it hard to see anything other than signals and stations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar1 Posted April 29, 2016 Share #6345 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) We still have R32 and R42 for RFW. Edited April 29, 2016 by bstar1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanrailerz Posted April 29, 2016 Share #6347 Posted April 29, 2016 There are a couple sets that are conducting CBTC testing including 7811-7821 7480-7471 7380-7371 Been Out of service 7870-7860 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted April 30, 2016 Share #6348 Posted April 30, 2016 Hmm? Nah, no way. They are MUCH cleaner than the R32s and there is no awkward wind coming out of the rubber gasket so yes they are better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted April 30, 2016 Share #6349 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) A railfan saying the NTT RFW is better than the view on the R32s? That's a first. The poor RFW view is the main reason a lot of railfans seem to dislike the NTT in the first place To me, the view on the older cars is better as you can see every little detail right in of the train... which is not noticeable on the NTT cause the view is so distorted.
